Plus you sometimes get to see other cool cars filling up here during hot weather....

Price isn't too bad but I don't look for ethanol free gas for the Ventura, it's fine on 92-93 octane with 10 percent ethanol.

The key to success is to install parts in your carburetor that will hold up fine in any concentration of ethanol, then go on to worry about something else.

I've made those parts available and offer a lifetime warranty on them no matter what type of fuel you are using......FWIW.....

tayto:
would a return line remedy this?

Cliff Ruggles:
I've never had any issues with fuel boiling in the carb but we do get a few emails and calls to the shop about it.  It's ALWAYS in the very hottest months and about 80 percent of the time from folks with early applications using factory intakes that had extra passages to route heat directly to the carb from passages leading down to the exhaust crossovers in the intake.....
